A visit to a therapist might be necessary to help conservatives work through their issues with the current frontrunner.

What if Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination for president in 2012?

A vast majority of conservatives become anxiety-ridden at the mere posing of this question, and many go ballistic at the thought of it actually happening.

So a quick visit to a therapist may be helpful.

Imagine yourself lying on a couch in the spring of 2012 with soothing music playing in the background. News breaks that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has clinched the Republican nomination for president.

Your therapist, knowing that as a true conservative you worked against Romney by supporting (fill in the blank), asks in a soft comforting voice, “How does this news make you feel — angry, betrayed, confused?”

Intrade also pegs Obama’s re-election prospects at 58.6%, but your therapist says she will address those negative feelings in a future session.

This hour she wants you to work through the stress associated with accepting Romney as the GOP nominee.

So in an empathetic tone she asks you to think about the following questions:

Are you going to pick up your signs for Candidate X and go home?

Could you work for and support Romney’s campaign?

Will you vote for Romney in the 2012 election?

What if the polls show that Romney is running neck and neck with Obama?

Do you resent that squishy independent swing vote that is fueling Romney?

Finally, the therapy session is over and you leave her office with a huge headache. You realize you would have real problems supporting Romney as the nominee and even imagining these questions makes you angry.

Can you relate to this scenario?

Draft dodgers went to Canada

Give the young man a prize

heres a coupie dollie

Some of them did go there

But TWO timew draft dodger Williard Mitt Romney had a disgraceful heritage of avoiding sertving in the US military and a rich Daddy, George Romney who was interested in keeping Juniors hair safe from humidity...

With Big Daddys help MittyBoy dodged the draft and fled to Paris, France and spent his time loafing in a mansion and driving a top of the line Citroen around France..

(we wont mention the fatal accident that caused Big Daddy to fly to Paris to save MittyBoys cowardly butt)

BTW kid have you ever esrved in the US military yourself ???

Are you old enough to have been at least 18 during the draft days ???

What did you do ????

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ?????????????

I will vote for anyone that the GOP nominates to get rid of what we have now.

Lol...way too young for Vietnam and the draft and had no interest in serving in Carter's military in the late 70s...I'm glad to see you agree with such conservative luminaries as Wonkette, the readers of the Huffington Post and DU that Romney is a draft dodger...if I recall, after his deferment, he came back to the US and, as required by law, drew a lottery number. Fortunately for him, it was a high number and he was never drafted. Didn't draft dodgers stay away from the US? Why in the world would a draft dodger come back and draw a number?

Wonder what he was doing in Paris for those 2 years of deferment...uh, oh...the "M" reason...now I understand the true reason for angst...

No

after the first time Williard Mitt Romney dodged the draft and went to France for a 2 1/2 years glamerous vacation he came back to the US and for the 2nd time drew a LOW number

This time Romney dodged the draft claiming he had to go to college

The 3rd time he drew a high number but by that time Nam was over or just about..

Romney dodged the golden bullet the 3rd time

He doged the draft the first 2 times...

What a cowardly unAmerican draft dodging jek...
